Queensland 's Truth-Telling and Healing Inquiry has resumed work despite the state government's plan to scrap it, with the chair describing relations as "frosty".
Mr Crisafulli pledged to repeal the Path to Treaty legislation if elected, after a majority voted no in the Voice to Parliament Referendum.Speaking on Friday, Mr Creamer said he had made multiple requests for an urgent meeting with either the premier, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Minister Fiona Simpson, or the Director-General since then, but there had been "very little communication except for a proposed meeting that was indefinitely postponed".
The inquiry will be limited to online submissions as it is "unable to commit to providing the necessary ongoing support" needed in truth-telling sessions and hearings. Mr Creamer said he was aware the government was seeking advice, but said there has been no timeline around when the meeting would be.
